Rappler's live blog of the Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos

MANILA, Philippines – NFL fans, Super Bowl XLVIII is finally here.

After 16 grueling regular season games the last two teams standing have earned the right to walk with their heads held high at the Super Bowl.

The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos were the two teams most pegged to make it to the Big Game. Both teams had identical 13-3 records.

Second-year quarterback Russell Wilson leads Seattle. Wilson has thrown for 26 touchdowns in each of his first. His primary weapon is wide-receiver Doug Baldwin Jr., a Filipino-American who was tied for the team-lead in receiving touchdowns with 5. Their best offensive weapon may be Marshawn Lynch, who was third in the league with 1,590 running yards and fifth in touchdowns with 11.

While this is the young Seahawks’ first time into the Super Bowl, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is all-too familiar with the Winter Classic. Manning, 37, is one of the game’s greatest players ever, having won five MVP awards and led the Colts to a Super Bowl victory.

The Commercials
